What role does the media play in shaping preconceived notions?
The media plays a significant role in shaping preconceived notions about nursing. Popular TV shows and movies often portray nurses in a limited or stereotypical manner, which can influence public perception. While some media portrayals have improved to show the complexity and importance of the nursing profession, there is still a long way to go. Advocating for more accurate and diverse representations can help change these preconceived notions.
